Krupp's New Monster.

Iron Age: OF Krupp's new monster
gun, which will eclipse the much talked
of British 110-ton gun, we find the fol-
loving particulars given: Its length is
16 m., or SGT feet; its weight about l43, 600
ky, or 130 tons; and its caliber 40 en-,
or 1877 inches. The preiectiles to be used
with it are of two kinds-one a steel
shell, 1.12 nj. e feet 8 inches long, and
weighing 740 ky. $50 pounds), and the
other 1.60 M. % feet 2inches) 2 long and
weighing 1,O4O ky. (2,3l4 pounds). equal
to the weight of a barrel of IL cm. gun.
The service charge consists of 485 ky.

shell will have an initial
velocity of 735 m. (2,411 feet), the heavier
shell one of $40 m. q, 099 feet per second.
Attention might be drawn to the fact
that, when rifled gnns were first intro
duced, the highest initial velocity at
tanned was only 800 m. 1884 feet. The
lighter shell will penetrate q wrought

"Nanos" (the Dwarfs), and who never

hairs on the chin. The face is full, the

MANAWA'S MINERAL WATER
Strong Indications That There is Valu-
able Find There.

City Council.
Is 1t Mineral Water?

The announcement of the probability
of mineral water at Manawa has caused
no little comment. The suspicion, a
natural one, that the supposed discovery
is simply an advertising dodge, is un-
founded. Whether there is mineral
water there or not, is still an open ques-
tion, but the indications are strongly in
favor of the find beng genuine. The
talk has not been started for advertising
purposes. but is made in good faith.
The effect of the water on those who have
been drinking it, its peculiar taste, the
changed appearance of the dippers and
other dishes used, caused attention to be
drawn to the peculiar properties of the
water. Some of the water has been sent
away for analysis, and much will depend
upon this report. If the water proves to
be helpful, healthy material, it will add
much to the attractiveness of this resort.
If not, Manawa will continue to grow in
favor anyway, because it has many other
advantages, of sufficient variety and
number to cause crowds to flock thither
throughout the season.
Mr.. Clark was somewhat surprised
Yesterday morning to read in the BEE
about the discovery of the supposed min
eral water, as he wished to keep it quiet
until he had an analysis made of the
by persons anxious to know the particu-
lars, so he concluded to have others
investigate the facts the same as he
learned them accidentally on Sunday
while talking to couple of the worKmen
on Hotel Manawa. A party of gentlemen
went to the lake and there learned the
facts from those who have drank the
water continually, since they have been
employed there. A. w. Carpenter car.

ID. Stinrod, foreman of the carpenters
employed on the hotel, stated that he
had spent over 800 doctoring for kidney
troubles, but without effect. When he
went to work on the new hotel he was
unable to do anything but oversee the
days work as the next man, and, like
Mr.. Carpenter, is entirely well, all from
no other cause than drinking the water
at the hotel.

Not Cruel Neglect.

1t now appears that the mother of John
X. johnson, who was spoken of In these
columns yesterday as being neglected by
both him and his wife while the old lady
was in q dying condition, is not so mis-
treated as the neighbors reported. 1t is
claimed the story was got up by the gos.
sips of the neighborho0d from some un.
known reason. The story as published
in the BEE was received from several
sources, one being from near neighbor,
who 1t now appears poses in the light of
u friend" to the johnson family, and
has for some time past. The Johnsons
are in rather straitened circumstances
are are all doing their best to earn money
with which to complete the payments on
their property, and as the old lady is
that she cannot even feed herself, Mrs.
johnson has hired o nurse so she could

He Ought to Swear on.

A painter, named Jennings. seems to
have the misfortune of getting very
mean whisky, or else the whisky brings
out his innate meanness. On several oc-
casions of late he has been complained
of for his actions while drunk. He ap-
peared ono night at the residence of Wal
ter Amy, and pounded at the door until
Mr.. Amy came to ask him what the
trouble was. Jennings replied in his
drunken way by humble and mutter-
ing, and reached for his hip pocket, as if
to draw gun. Amy slammed the door
in his face, having no weapon with which
to defend himself, and the fellow went
across the street and sat there watching
for q season, and threatening revenge
for the fancied insult After little he
returned and tried to force an entrance
through the window. MIR. Amy slipped
out of another door and sent for police.

time the officer arrived. The next day,

with the saloon man and did not want
them to be witnesses. He watched and
waited for the man to shut up and when
he started for home Jennings went for
him. Officer Dyer was on hand and ar.
rested Jennings before he could get his
desired revenge. Yesterday Jennings
was fined $50 and costs. Not being able
to pay he went to jail for fifteen days.
Another instance of jennings mean
ness when drunk is cited. He is said to
have lately gone into candy store where

how handsome she was and otherwise

The Case OF Mrs. Lincoln.

Some of the Sunday newspapers contain
elaborate accounts Of the insanity o. Mrs.
Lincoln, the wife of the president, her
extraordinary jealousy, her insults to
prominent Washington ladies and the sor-
row that her conduct caused the president.
The article purports to have emanated
from the pen of Gen. Adam Badeau.
This is low business for reputable news
paper people 10 indulge in. Mrs. Lincoln
has been commonly regarded as a very
erratic woman, but her frailties were
covered when the earth closed over
her grave. The maxim that concerning
the dead nothing but good shall be said
ought to have allowed her imperfections
along with herself TO be buried in the past,
particularly as no possible good can be sub
served by digging them up at the present
juncture. Tenderness for dead woman's
memory and consideration for the family
she left behind her should have saved the
recital of her shortcomings now. She is
dead and unable to speak for herself, and
her family care not TO be forced to make
her public defense in the newspapers.
If this be newspaper enterprise, let us
have less of it.
